Monsanto Security Tries to Block Reporters at Headquarters

Despite preaching “transparency” in its corporate policy, Monsanto
is so secretive it has worked overtime behind the scenes to block GMO
labeling, influence politicians and intimidate free speech – even
outside its own headquarters.

Monsanto – often dubbed “The World’s Most Evil Corporation” is a $15
billion U.S.-based multinational agrochemical and genetically modified
seed company. Despite the fact that millions all over the world consume
Monsanto’s GM seeds hidden in unlabeled food products every day –
primarily in the form of GMO corn, soy, oil and beet sugar – the people
of the United States and other parts of the globe are not allowed to
know what they are eating. This is to the outrageous point that the
company’s lobbying firm is suing the State of Vermont for trying to
mandate GMO labeling (after voters demanded it).

Yet, one of Monsanto’s own official tenets in its company “pledge” is transparency.

But Truthstream Media.com reporters found out the hard way that the
company is very protective of its image, of public information about its
operations and of its political clout.

THIS VIDEO
shows what happens when you try to film on a public sidewalk outside
Monsanto’s world headquarters in Creve Couer, Missouri (a suburb of St.
Louis) – where no parking signs and restrictive city ordinances have
already attempted to intimidate and shutter public demonstrations and
news reporters.
